Madcap Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Given the lack of set list variety, I probably don’t need to go to all 4 of these, but at the same time, not going to all 4 of them seems like a bad idea! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chez Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Just picked up two in the front of the balcony for Sunday night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ziggy Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Given the lack of set list variety, I probably don’t need to go to all 4 of these, but at the same time, not going to all 4 of them seems like a bad idea! Same thoughts! I'll be out of town for the first one and was only able to grab good seats for the Wednesday show this morning. Telling myself right now that I'm ok with only hitting 2 of them but that's more difficult than I imagined. I'm really wondering how much setlist variety there will be this time around.

Goalinlifewastobeanecho Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Been trying since 10. Kept getting the messages that either "another fan beat me to it" or "Ticketmaster can't process my request on this device" for whatever reason? Only going for Double letter or pit seats. Really wish they didn't use a TM venue and went back to the Riviera but that's just my opinion. I guess I'll try again tomorrow in the XRT pre sale, but if it didn't work today, can't imagine tomorrow will be any better... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I forgot about today's presale. Guess if I go I'll have to wait til Fridays general on-sale and take whatever I can get. Maybe it's a sign that I need to save my money instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Madcap Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Huge pain in the ass this morning, but I got tickets to all 4 nights. Couple of them are in the back of the floor which is not ideal, but at least I don’t have to deal with any more on sales. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Psst: There's a Thursday presale too. Dammit. More temptation. I'd just about talked myself out of it. Seriously, thanks for the heads-up. Decisions... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knotgreen Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Given the lack of set list variety, I probably don’t need to go to all 4 of these, but at the same time, not going to all 4 of them seems like a bad idea! I'm not hard on the band for not mixing up the setlists as much as they once did. Most people aren't going to multiple shows or traveling far and wide, and so a "standardized" setlist where they're rotating a few songs makes sense; they are catering to a wider audience. But, if I'm being honest, the incentive to travel to Chicago or St. Paul just wasn't there for me, given that I will have seen a few shows already on this tour and that the sets will (probably) be identical. I'll save my rock tourism dollars for the next solo tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nalafej Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 the sets will (probably) be identical. Could be. Last time they played Chicago it was 4 shows at Chicago Theater. Tickets were cheaper then. They performed 106 songs over the 4 nights with 49 unique songs. That's not bad for mixing it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They performed 106 songs over the 4 nights with 49 unique songs. That's not bad for mixing it up. That's definitely more variety than I remembered. I feel like you get two unique shows (nights 1 and 3 are similar & 2 and 4). As another data point, they played 4 nights at the Beacon on the Schmilco tour where they played 25-29 song sets, with 47 unique songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Also the pw JOY should work. Thanks for the passwords. I decided to be fiscally responsible, so I'm gonna sit it out. I have upcoming auto repair bill that's going to run about $700. Plus it's right before Christmas, and I'm sure I'll have family obligations and other plans that will conflict. I'd love to be there, but sitting it out is the right thing to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vaporized Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I want to thank Wilco for the fan-presale. I had low expectations since Ticketmaster was handling it and now either scalp the best seats with their "Platinum ticket" scam where they charge 4x face for good seats, or just make it impossible to get decent seats with the waiting room games. I was able to get PITs for 2 nights at the standard ticket price. A lot of it was patience and luck, but having seats Will Call only no doubt helped making them available to fans vs. scalpers. I also appreciate having the opportunity at good seats for face value. Thanks Wilco! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goalinlifewastobeanecho Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Was able to snag 4R, Row EE, Seat 406 for night 1. Probably will play the secondary market game or see if something decent pops up for night 4 closer to the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Had I known that decent tickets would still be available an hour after onsale, I wouldn't have settled for my back of the room floor seats I bought on Wednesday! I'm actually kind of surprised these didn't sell out this morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OhTheStatic Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Very happy to be attending my first Chicago Wilco gig in QUITE a while (last Chicago show was the Vic one in 2011!!). Out of curiosity, how is the balcony section? I was able to score tickets for the opening and closing nights of the Winterlude and am ranging from 2L (one section from the left?) Row H and then 3R (three sections from the right?) row B. I'm just happy to see Wilco and fortunately have started to feel okay with not being front row center for gigs. I'm going to try to score tickets for floor soon as well, I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I like the balcony at Chicago Theatre a lot. Would rather have gotten tickets there than at the back of the first floor tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Robyn Hitchcock (first two shows) and Sharon Van Etten (last two shows) were just added as support for the Chicago shows! I've never heard Hitchcock before, but have really been liking Sharon Van Etten lately, so this is fantastic news. Seems like pretty damn good openers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
